Me neither. I think there are two distinct possibilities you should consider when you think what to do today. First one is that you may die today. Second is that you may not die today.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoso the conclusion is that I should get life insurance and try all the drugs I always wanted to?
- OJFord 4y agoIf you have 'always wanted to' try a bunch of drugs.. yes probably you should (according to that advice). The thing to realise is that many people don't have any desire to try (the things that we call) drugs, so your comment isn't exposing some flaw in the advice. If an oracle told me it actually is my last day, I'm not suddenly going to smoke some weed, snort some cocaine, and shoot up some heroin. I wouldn't want to any more than knowing (or assuming, as I do) that I'll live until (at least!) tomorrow.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoYou really are sure you wouldn't do anything different if an oracle told you it is actually your last day? There are so may possibilities for making the most of it. You could take out every bit of loan or debt accessible and transfer all the money to charity. You could burn down the HQ of an oil company. If you live in a country without the rule of Law, like Russia, where known killers and criminals hold positions of power, you could try your hand at assasinating one of them.
- OJFord 4y agoI said I wouldn't do drugs, not that I wouldn't do anything differently.
